Question 20 • Precalculus
The trains’ routes and the distance between their stops form a triangle with sides 100 km and 200 km enclosing an angle of 130°. By the Law of Cosines, the distance between the stops is √(100² + 200² − 2 × 100 × 200 × cos 130°) ≈ 275.2 km. Rounded to the nearest integer, the trains are 275 km apart, so the answer is 275 km.
